Chris Gayle believes every team will have an equal chance to win in the T20 World Cup - Cricket News Update
West Indies star http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in September.
The swashbuckling left-hander is well aware of the unpredictability of the shortest format of the game and knows well that none of the teams is clear favourite to be the next champion in 2012.
“It’s going to be tough in Sri Lanka. It’s not going to be walkover, we’ve got to play good cricket,” said Gayle, who is the foremost exponent of the format in the world today.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 has responded well and emerged as a strong side.
The Windies had levelled the series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, but the current performances against the Kiwis are impressive. After clinching the T20 series 2-0, the hosts are leading the One Day International (ODI) series 2-0.
West Indies received a huge boost when, their star batsman Chris Gayle was recalled into the squad, but with other notable T20 specialists including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379, the Windies are looking good and can pose a
serious threat to other teams.
“When you look at the team, we have a strong all-round team,” Gayle Said. “[But] in T20, you don’t want to put a team as favourite … because even the weakest team can beat you in T20 cricket.”
“One particular batter can change a game and take it away from you. One good over can change a game. All the teams are capable of winning. When you look at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, [and] Sri Lanka at home are always dangerous,” the Jamaican concluded.
The West Indians will play Australia in a tough Group B match, while the other team being http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 has also made remarkable progress in recent times. Twelve teams have been divided into four groups, with England as the defending champion.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 championship is set to start from September 18th.
The first match will be played between the hosts Sri Lanka and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 and the final will take place on October 7th.
